The black & white outfit is safe but dull, the blouse is pretty, the pants are too tight and the return of the ponytail, ick.

The blue outfit is a mess to me, I like the skirt but not with the blouse sloppily tucked in, and those massive platform shoes are plain ugly. Does Victoria now get all the shoes from Letizia she wore 2 years ago?

I wondered too if she was borrowing Letizia's shoes. These are horrible and the least flattering shoes that she could possibly wear.

I like the skirt very much really don't mind the shirt too much. It's a pretty color on her!

Apart from the fact that neither of the two dresses fits around her bust and minus the green Daisy Duck shoes in outfit #1, these are two very nice looks for Victoria indeed, much better than anything she has worn during the past days, IMO.

I'd say that this actually represents the style she should go for: Vivid jewel colors, sleek silhouette, overall unfussy but with some interesting detail (the drape) and without overdoing it on the accessories... which in terms of jewelry should really be the real thing instead of the not-too-pretty (costume) items she prefers again here.

As for the ponytail, it's perfect for the green dress with the added interest in the neckline but less ideal for the purple dress, and she's getting a bit too old for it to constantly use it as her everyday hair style.

I am not fond of the green dress on her and the green shoes are just ugly. I really like the purple dress with the lovely accessories. It is very flattering and and a good look for the CP. I have to agree with Boris re the ponytail... It is beginning to look a bit juvenile for a woman of her age to wear with such frequency.

OK, I could handle the buff/nude Marlene Birger shoes but these green things are absolutely atrocious. They are too Strong a colour for such a "statement" style, making them look like large green doorstops!

Now the purple shoes . . . . divine.

So many outfits! I am surprising myself by liking the blue outfit the best, spangle skirt and different blue and texture blouse. Seems young and fresh, sometimes she dresses a little old for her age.
The black and white is "fine", the green dress and purple dress both a little tight but so nice to accent her silhouette. the green is not my favorite shade, the shade itself and draping seem to want to echo a retro 40s look.
Hoping she doesn't lose any more weight.

The purple and green two new dresses are a wise choice and great addition to her wardrobe. The colors are great and each are a different style. The purple shoes are quit nice but not liking the ones matched with the green dress.

its been a while since this thread got so lively, how i missed it, i love that Victoria is back on track and that her schedule is more full now but what i love the most is that shes bringing many diferent outfits and colors^^
the pregnancy felt like ages to pass along with the horrendous and hideous pregnancy style, im glad the Victoria true style finally is back!

Do absolutely love Escada but looking at the defferent images of V in the green, it really wasn't the dress for her.
That dress is really for someone who needs to create curves, a woman with a boyish figure. A few CP's come to mind. Victoria has a well toned womanly figure and doesn't need so much draping as was in the green, purple was better.

I like both the Escada dresses. The colours are good, and the fit is good. Silk is comfortable, sits well on the body and breaths well. But colour coordinating the shoes it not always the best.

Love the dresses as they are both in glorious jewel colours that really suit Victoria. The styles are pared down and not "fussy"!

What's this "we"? But I have to admit that describing them as "hooves" really hits the nail on the head. Personally I don't know how anyone can wear them easily as their soles do not flex and so the wearer sort of clomps along doing a really bad impression of that nasty old insult "your mother wears Army Boots"! Certianly not Très chic, more Très eek!
